Red silk was tied all over the manor, fluttering in the wind. It was noisy and lively. It was enough to describe the Third Prince's manor at this moment. The happy atmosphere in the hall did not affect Chu Yixuan in the high hall. His cold expression became even colder under the congratulations of the crowd.
Dressed in gorgeous wedding clothes, her tall and proud figure, her exquisite features swaying in the wind, Manyao's appearance caused an uproar among the guests. She walked with determination, step by step. From the beginning to the end, no emotion could be seen on Manyao's face. She only walked with a tense face, supported by Lian Xin, towards the main hall.
Chu Yixuan's face was cold as he looked at the woman who was coming towards him. The corners of his mouth curled up into a sarcastic smile.
The servant passed the red knot to the two of them. Manyao reached out to receive it. One of the two ends of the red knot was calm and composed, while the other had a cold expression. It was obvious that the two of them did not have the slightest bit of joy, as if this wedding was not important to them.
Everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward.
"Let's begin."
Just as everyone was looking at each other, the man sitting on the main seat slowly spoke in a dark and deep voice. His sharp gaze landed on Man Yao in front of him.
The person sitting at the head of the table was the emperor, Chu Yijing, who was officiating the wedding today. He pursed his lips tightly. From the moment Mantian stepped into the palace, he keenly sensed the indifferent message that this woman was emitting. Situ Mantian had changed. Chu Yijing was stunned.
Waving his hand, Chu Yijing sat up straight and signaled the emcee beside him to start the wedding.
"Your Highness, the auspicious time has arrived."
The emcee cleared his throat and said to the cold Chu Yixuan.
The sound of firecrackers reverberated through the sky, and the entire prince's manor was filled with a joyous atmosphere. Rites and music played, and the cheerful tune seeped into the hearts of the people.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
As the emcee spoke, Manyao gripped the red knot tightly in her hands. Under Chu Yixuan's unwilling gaze, she turned around and bowed to the heavens and earth outside the hall.
The moment she lowered her head, the corners of Man Yao's mouth curled into a mocking smile. It was really easy to bow to the heavens and earth. It was just a matter of bending down.
"Second bow to the high hall."
Chu Yixuan looked up and his cold gaze fell on Mantiao beside him. Even if he was unwilling, he could only turn around unwillingly under the urging of the emcee and bow to Chu Yijing who was sitting in the high hall.
"Husband and wife pay their respects."
This bow had already determined Manyao's future in this era where people were conservative and divorce was not allowed. Whether it was good or bad was not up to her.
Man Yao stood up straight. She could not help but sigh in her heart. Although she hesitated, it was only for a moment before she bent down. Her heart felt a slight pain in an instant. At this moment, she had become the Third Princess Consort that people were talking about. From now on, she had no choice.
Staring coldly at Manyao, who was bending over, Chu Yixuan remained upright and did not move at all. His cold and emotionless gaze shot sharply at the woman in front of him.
"Xuan!"
Chu Yijing looked at the situation in front of him and cleared his throat. He couldn't help but remind him that all the guests were waiting for him. Could it be that he was going to embarrass himself as the emperor?
Ling Feng, who was beside him, was also extremely anxious. He could not help but give Chu Yixuan a look.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile. His tall body slowly bent down in front of everyone's eyes, but his eyes were filled with deep unwillingness. The emperor's orders could not be disobeyed. If he wanted to bow himself, then he would bow.
Seeing that Chu Yixuan had finally compromised, everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief. They looked up and carefully sized up the Emperor's expression. No one said anything, even though everyone knew that the Third Prince did not really want to marry, they had no choice.
"After the ceremony, send him to the bridal chamber."
As the emcee called out, Manyao let out a sigh of relief. Finally, she could leave this depressing place. From Chu Yixuan's actions and expression, Manyao knew that this Third Prince was the same as her. In this wedding, he did not have the slightest autonomy. Chu Yixuan did not want to marry her. That was good. She, Situ Mantian, was also unwilling to marry. From now on, the two of them could treat each other with respect.
Seeing this, Lian Xin hurriedly walked to Man Yao's side and held her hands as they walked towards the bridal chamber that had been prepared in the prince's mansion.
Quietly sitting in front of the bed, Manyao observed the festive decorations around her. The corners of her mouth curled into a mocking smile. At this moment, the bewitching red color in front of her eyes deeply stung her eyes. How laughable was it to use a festive occasion on herself? She did not have the joy that a newlywed mother should have.
The sky slowly darkened and the red candle quietly burned. For a few hours, Manyao maintained the same posture, sitting upright by the bed. No emotions could be seen on her cold face. Lian Xin had already left under Manyao's instructions, leaving her alone in the room.
Bang! There was a loud crash at the door.
Looking up lazily, Manyao's gaze fell on Chu Yixuan, who was walking in slowly. In an instant, he, dressed in a red wedding dress, quickly walked up to Manyao and looked down at her.
Chu Yixuan's deep and sharp eyes revealed a sense of resentment. His gaze fell fiercely on the woman sitting by the bed. That expression seemed to want to tear Mantiao apart. Chu Yixuan's heart was filled with hatred and disdain for Mantiao.
If it wasn't for this woman, the woman he loved wouldn't have left him, and her whereabouts wouldn't be unknown now.
"Situ Manyao."
A cold voice rang out from above Manyao's head. Before she could react, Chu Yixuan's broad palm pinched her petite chin viciously, and a hint of malice flashed in his eyes.
Don't think that she will get everything she wants just because she marries him. An illegitimate daughter that everyone despises, he, Chu Yixuan, doesn't care about her at all.
Being forced to look into the eyes of the man in front of her, Man Yao naturally felt the disdain and ruthlessness in his eyes. A mocking smile also appeared on her exquisite face.
"Don't think that you will have a good life just because you want to marry into the wang fu.”
With a gloomy voice, Chu Yixuan exerted force in his hand and a red mark appeared on Mantian's fair chin.
Compared to Chu Yixuan's disdainful and hateful look, Manyao appeared very calm. Her light and agile eyes met Chu Yixuan's malicious eyes without fear. Manyao instantly smiled beautifully. She had never looked forward to this wedding. The reason why she had made up her mind to marry was because she wanted to leave the place where Situ Manyao used to live and start a new life.
"What a joke. Even if you don't want to marry me, it doesn't mean that I want to marry you.”
She raised her hand and slapped away Chu Yixuan's hands that were holding her down. She looked at the man in front of her with a proud face.
"Don't forget that the moment you shut me out, I already said that I, Situ Mantian, don't want to marry you. Now, it's you who wants to bring me back to complete this wedding.”
In other words, even if he was unhappy, he was the one who asked for it.
Manyao's words made Chu Yixuan's face turn ashen. His furious eyes fell on Manyao's body. This woman did not look as delicate and weak as the rumors said.
"Chu Yixuan, today, I'll make it clear. I know you're unwilling to marry me, and the reason why I married you is just for peace and quiet.”
Staring deeply at the man in front of her, Man Tian smiled seductively. She then turned around and sat down on a chair not far away. She simply and directly expressed her thoughts.
Both of them were unwilling to attend this wedding. Since that was the case, there was no need for everyone to make things clear. From now on, they would mind their own business. He would walk his own path, and she would cross hers.
"Chu Yixuan, from now on, you and I will be strangers under the same roof and not interfere with each other. How about it?”
This was the purpose of Manyao's marriage. She did not care why Situ Manyao had agreed to this marriage. From Chu Yixuan's expression, Manyao knew that he did not love her. In fact, he hated her. Even so, Manyao was fearless. She only wanted to live a stable life in this dynasty. She did not want to care about anything else.
Chu Yixuan laughed coldly when he heard Manyao's words. His cold gaze landed sharply on Manyao.
Not interfering with each other?
Was this the purpose of her marriage? Did he really think that Chu Yixuan was a fool? He had painstakingly asked the Emperor to arrange a marriage and forced his beloved woman to leave. Was this the only reason he had spent so much effort and meticulous planning?
"Situ Manyao, what are you up to? This king is not interested in knowing. You better remember that from the moment you marry into the prince's mansion, it means that you won't have a good life. This king has plenty of time to slowly torture you and make you pay the price you deserve.”
With a cold snort, Chu Yixuan looked at Man Yao with disdain. Then, with a gloomy face, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Looking at Chu Yixuan's angry back, Mantiao smiled indifferently. Although she did not understand the meaning of Chu Yixuan's words, from his disgusted expression, Mantiao knew that the two of them would not have anything to do with each other in the future. That was good.
As for the torture and price he mentioned, Manyao did not care at all. She did not believe that she, a new human from the 21st century, could not defeat an ancient like him. If he had the ability, just wait and see.
After looking around, Manyao suddenly stood up and walked towards the bright red bed. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep with her clothes on.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
